- a huge, powerful, and overwhelming force.
(*deep sighs*)
(*exhales in and out*)
(*eyes closed*)
Pitch darkness looms everywhere coupled with a bit of tense and shaky sensation in my body. My eyes are closed, yet I see patterns, I somehow see the darkness shake, as if a tremor flows through my entire body, I feel like I am being pushed by some intangible juggernaut, but I lay with my eyes closed stationery. The turbulence caused by this intangible juggernaut, causes the shaking pitch blackness to slowly break into fragments of white lines flowing horizontally through the now greyish-blackish background. The Juggernaut fractures the lines into multiple tributaries systematically flowing to create somewhat of an obscure pattern. The white lines move slowly like a snake stalking its prey and begin to mimic the unique patterns of leaves, it then choreographically turns into delicate patterns of a honey comb and then into a spider’s web. The spider’s web traps its prey and slowly collapses forming into a cocoon. The cocoon shakes vehemently as The Juggernaut reaches its point of inflexion. The immense force breaks open the cocoon into a caterpillar which gets bigger and bigger as The Juggernaut increases its power. The intense shaking gives way to a sense of exuberant coolness that flows through the entire body. The cocoon turns into a butterfly, the butterfly flies into the white line flowing horizontally through the black landscape. Eventually the lines stops flowing and slowly concentrates into a bright white circle at the middle of the black landscape. The black dissolves into the white and eventually there’s a small black circle amidst a white background, as if mimicking an eyeball. The eyeball panics and moves around helplessly, goosebumps awakens my skin alive, I want to wake up but I can’t, I concentrate on my breathing and I eventually forget how to breathe. I try to move but I can’t, I try to open my eyes but The Juggernaut shuts them close. My eyeballs start sweating, my head starts aching, my lungs start burning and The Juggernaut eventually bids goodbye. For now. At least.
(*gasps for air*)
(*the shaking stops*)
(*eyes burst wide and open*)
